Conference

Our Annual Headteachers’ Conference

Every year we hold a conference for Headteachers. As well as being of value to you professionally, they’re our way to say thank you and recognise all that you do.

We understand how difficult your job is. You’re responsible for giving every child who comes through your school the best possible start in life. You have to meet their needs, the needs of their families, the needs of your staff team, the needs of your governing body, the needs of the local authority, the needs of inspectors and the needs of national government.

The amount of bureaucracy and local and national policy you have to deal with can be overwhelming. While new approaches to education and a better understanding of how children learn are welcome, it can be almost impossible to keep up with the pace of change. And there’s never enough time to see how well an initiative works before it’s replaced by a new one.

We understand all this. So we design our conferences to give you time out to reflect as well as to learn. We want you to leave feeling inspired, with new ideas and enthusiasm. And we want you to take away practical examples you can share with your staff team and use back at school to help your children develop bright futures.
